I need to make peace within myself...


I was molested by my stepfather as a young child. My own mother didn't believe me. I can remember the terrible things he did to me. I wet my pants up until the 3rd grade and was picked on. I thought I could get through it on my own once I got a little older, I moved in with my father and stepmom. At the age of ten my stepmoms grandfather locked me in the shed and sexually abused me as well. I was too small and already too mentally frgaile to even fight back. I've felt guilty my whole life, I must've done something to have made this happen. Im at the point in my life that I want sympathy , I want some sort of recognition, because my family brushed it under the rug. In my teen years, I got into drugs, alcohol, and sel-destruction trying to fight the inner demons; Failed attempt. I married at 18 to a man who is wonderful , but we've also had some ups and downs because of the abuse from my past. At times , I'm untrusting, or over-reactive, and sometimes even wreckless. If I don't find some sort of resolve I'm going to be m own worst enemy. My husband loves me and wants to do whatever he can to help, he just doesn't know what else to do but listen. Therapists are out of the question, I've tried and they are too cold, and uncaring.. Any advice???

Hi Releaseme1991,

I was just heading off to bed when I got your notification.  You have found a wonderful place  for help  and venting.  Everyone her is kind  and understanding and will provide you with feedback and caring.  I have two things that may help you:  mindfulness and being present.  Using these  two will help  you keep your emotions  in check when you feel that you are  becoming unbalanced or triggered.  It does  help to rememeber  who and what was done to you as you need to  put the pain  and hurt where it  belongs.  You are worthy of love and respect and did not deserve what  was done to you in any  way.  You may talk to me if you wish, I have posted my intro and others but they are at the new  site.  You  have posted here on a forum that is closing down.  Go  here: http://www.havoca.org/phpBB3

Be strong, Inventorsmile
